Old Noob who need a little re-edumacation

[ayoungjedi]

Hello and happy New Year to all. I've been "away", for a minute and need a refresher on CPU Ramm. I built a killer rigg back in '07 and have been toying with the idea of a new super-media rigg. Usual guts: Asus Mobo, i7 CPU, 8gigs of ramm??? 6600 series ATI vidcard, full tower Thermaltech, etc,etc etc. My present ramm is 2gigs ddr2 or ddr3 I forget. It's made by OCZ, which I'll told does ramm no more.????? Who's the Ramm Champ??? I'm a casual gamer(COD1 2,Portal1/2, Half-life 2+,) I don't plan on any over-clocking but I'm a fan of Adobe photoshop cs 2-4. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What's up with an outfit called "g-skill?" Also, is it safe to say, that the most resent ramm on PC's is DDR3 and for V-cards, it's DDR5??????????? Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, your my only hope.....:-}

P.S. This new system will be built on a Asus Sabertooth X58 Mobo.

Peace
